James KD lost the election! Top 15 famous superstar reviews: Curry ranked 4 levels and one person ranked first

10:32pm, 29 May 2025【Basketball】

Two older generation superstars, James and KD, were not selected! When the Thunders scored 4-1, the gentleman swept the Timberwolves to advance to the finals, NBA famous speaker and ESPN columnist Bill Simmons selected the top 15 active superstars, among which Curry ranked fourth, and one person ranked first.

Fifth Division (11-15): Cunningham, Davis, Towns, Mobley and Jaylen Williams

It is not difficult to see from the players selected in the fifth division that the main basis for Bill Simmons to select this list is the performance this season, not the achievements and contributions of his entire career.

For example, Cunningham, Jaylen Williams, Mobley and Towns have not achieved much success before. Most of them have completed self-proving for the first time this season, and even Towns is the case. It was not until this season's playoffs that Towns got rid of outside criticism. Therefore, they still have a long way to go to truly sit firmly in the top 15, and they must prove themselves in the long run in at least 3-5 seasons.

In comparison, Brother Davis has higher achievements and star ranks, but due to injury issues and poor performance of his team, it seriously affected his ranking in this list.

Fourth level (7-10): Curry, Edwards, Halliburton and Brunson

According to the ranking of this level, Bill Simmons can also be further confirmed. Brunson has firmly led the Knicks to the Eastern Conference Finals, but it is likely to be eliminated by the Pacers led by Halliburton, so the ranking is suppressed.

And judging from the performance at critical moments in the playoffs, if Halliburton can improve offensive stability in the future, it is entirely possible to further improve his ranking in the future.

Mitchell, when the core players suffered from serious injuries, gave off proud personal data in succession, which was more in line with the definition of a star.

Curry is a real superstar, an NBA historical star. If Curry hadn't been injured, the Warriors would have a chance to defeat the Timberwolves.

And in terms of defensive pressure, lineup configuration and personal performance, Curry's older generation of stars has significantly better stability and game influence.

Therefore, based on the performance of the Warriors and Curry's condition this season, he should have completely obtained a higher ranking.

Third level (4-6): Edwards, Doncic and Wenbanyama

Edwards' performance is a bit disappointing. His playing style and personality are very consistent with the NBA's standards for shaping superstars. Unfortunately, when facing double-teaming, Edwards' scoring stability is insufficient and his shortcomings are exposed.

Especially in the last two games against the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals, Edwards' performance was extremely disappointing, but considering that Edwards has made great progress in both three-point shooting output and quality this season, I believe that Edwards, who is only 23 years old, will still be bright in the future.

Doncic has completed a certain degree of weight loss. As long as he remains healthy in the new season and officially takes over the team's boss's scepter from James, then in the era of small ball advocating offense, Doncic is a stable top five superstar.

In contrast, Wenban Yama is obviously overrated. Even though the league's intention to promote him is extremely obvious, for a "unicorn"-style player, he has not yet led the team to create any achievements, or even entered the playoffs, and has not even made it to the playoffs, and has obviously overestimated it.

Second level (2-3): Alexander and Antetokounmpo

According to their performance this season, Alexander is fully worthy of the second place. Not only is the new MVP, but he also leads the team to the finals, and is very likely to lead the Thunder to win the first championship in the team history.

Antetokounmpo is the undisputed top three active stars, and this has been the case in the past five years.

First level (1): Jokic

There is no doubt that the top position belongs to Jokic, especially when the Thunder is likely to win the championship, it reflects the excellence of Jokic and the Nuggets.

In terms of personal abilities, Jokic is the first player in active service to fight. In terms of team leadership, Jokic still fought with the Thunder until the tiebreak when his teammates were constantly weakened and he suffered from serious injuries.
